Chapter 597 Burns
That’s right, one is a lady from a wealthy family, and the other is a girl from a small family in the village.
Lu Tingchuan saw that Shen Qing always liked to keep her head down. She had a pretty face, but she didn't like to show it off.
Shen Qing has been by his side for half a year, so why can't he be raised? The earthy air in her body is still there.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" He carried the Li family's genes in his blood. Even though he was an illegitimate child, his aura was still much higher than others. Just a casual question was very intimidating.
"I shouldn't have secretly gone to work..."
Seeing that she had truly admitted her mistake, Lu Tingchuan stood up and said, "That's good to know. I'm not short of that little money, and it's not like I can't support you. Just stay home and study hard, cook for me, and do the laundry. Look at what you're wearing. It's so hot outside, and it's so dirty and smelly. You smell like a stray dog."
Lu Tingchuan likes to belittle people, and Shen Qing is his best punching bag. No matter what he does or how excessive his words are, Shen Qing will not mind, let alone get angry. Even if he slaps her, she will still make breakfast for him on time the next day.
Such people, rather than being good-tempered, are mean and stupid!
Shen Qing's eyes were red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the pain from the fall or because she was embarrassed by Lu Tingchuan's words.
She also knew that she had no special abilities, so she dropped out right after graduating from high school and didn't go to college. She was taken to J City and seemed out of place in this bustling city.
The fact that Lu Tingchuan could keep her was the blessing she had cultivated for her entire life. He brought her out of that abyss, gave her a sense of security, and gave her a "home." He always carefully taught her how to live here.
There wasn't much she could do, just try to do as much housework as possible, washing clothes and cooking for Lu Tingchuan every day.
Lu Tingchuan's anger subsided. "Okay, go take a shower, wash yourself clean, and put on the red dress I bought you yesterday. I'll wait for you in the study."
Shen Qing nodded quickly, stood up and staggered back to the room, and found the skirt that Lu Tingchuan bought for her in the closet.
Lu Tingchuan bought her a lot of red dresses. He said that this color suited her and she looked very beautiful in them.
Shen Qing also thought it was beautiful. She had no concept of high-end brand names, but judging from the workmanship of the skirt, she guessed it must be very expensive. She would not wear clothes that were too expensive.
She had never worn such nice clothes before. Before, at home, she would pick up other people's clothes to wear, and sometimes she would wear her brother's clothes.
Maybe she was used to a hard life and was reluctant to give up, so even though she had so many clothes, she still liked to buy T-shirts for dozens of dollars from street stalls, which she could wear from this year to next year, or even longer.
Shen Qing cleaned her hands before taking the skirt, brought it to the bathroom, and rubbed it all over with shower gel before carefully putting it on.
The red skirt is a backless design, showing off her curves and making her look sexy and charming. It also makes her skin look white and tender after taking a shower. Shen Qing is not used to wearing such clothes, and she is timid and always likes to cover her face with her hands.
Come to think of it, it was the first time she wore such revealing clothes and it was Lu Tingchuan who forced her to do so.
Without having time to blow dry his hair, he walked to the study door with wet hair and knocked.
"Come in."
She dared to open it only after getting Lu Tingchuan's response. In the study, Lu Tingchuan was sitting lazily on the sofa, his legs casually crossed on the coffee table, and a violin was placed not far from his feet.
Shen Qing started to tremble as soon as he saw the violin.
Lu Tingchuan called Shen Qing over like a dog and pointed at the violin on the coffee table: "I'm here to check on your recent progress in learning the violin."
Shen Qing nodded, went over to pick up the violin, and just got ready to start.
Lu Tingchuan added, "If it's really bad, you'll be punished."
Shen Qing had no talent for playing the violin. Her hands were rough, her bones were hard, and her movements were stiff due to long-term farm work. Even though Lu Tingchuan had taken her to a doctor to take care of her hands and they had become more tender, she still couldn't learn the violin well.
Every time she played the violin in front of Lu Tingchuan, she would be ridiculed by him and then punished.
Shen Qing was afraid when he thought of punishment.
Shen Qing adjusted his posture, held the bow, and played the wrong first note. This mistake, coupled with nervousness, naturally led to the collapse of the rest of the performance.
Lu Tingchuan impatiently called for a stop after only hearing half of it.
“It sounds terrible.”
The man's eyes were filled with anger, even angrier than before. Shen Qing trembled and lowered his head again.
Lu Tingchuan was furious when he saw her cowardly look. It had been half a year, but she still couldn't learn it. They had a similar face, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth. She could not compare to Shen Zhichu in anything.
When he thought of that woman Shen Zhichu, his fingers couldn't help but itch.
In the three years since Shen Zhichu's death, he had killed many people, but none of them were as fierce as that woman.
Think of trampling a proud rose into the mud, or pulling out all the quills of a hedgehog, leaving blood everywhere.
There is nothing quite like watching a man with such pride in his bones beg for mercy.
Lu Tingchuan admits that he is not a good person. He likes to torture others for fun. He also said in front of Shen Qing that he is not a good person, but Shen Qing thinks he is good.
Lu Tingchuan lost all interest in torturing such a weak, vulnerable and stupid person.
But now she was angry. First, she went to work outside without telling her, and second, she could not learn to be like Shen Zhichu no matter how hard she tried.
The tyranny factor evaporated from his body, and Lu Tingchuan lit a cigarette: "Come here."
Shen Qing didn't move.
Lu Tingchuan said calmly, "Do you still want me to treat you?"
Shen Qing stared at her toes and slowly moved over. As soon as she got close, she was grabbed by the wrist by the man. She sat in his arms and subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the violin in her hand was angrily thrown to the ground by the man.
The violin worth more than 30 million yuan was scrapped. Shen Qing was in a panic. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
"Ugh..." Shen Qing cried out, her body trembling like grass in the wind, looking extremely pitiful.
Lu Tingchuan pressed the lit cigarette in his hand directly against the flesh on her back.
Along with Shen Qing's miserable groan, the spark on the cigarette butt sank into the flesh.
With a "sizzle", the skin and flesh turned red and then were rubbed into black. A small frown of fireworks burned the person so much that his whole body shivered.
Tears fell from her wet and red eyes. She wanted to struggle but was held tightly by Lu Tingchuan's hand.
Shen Qing twisted his waist and turned his head, his face tense like a frightened animal.
"Mr. Lu, it hurts so much..."
"Bear the pain." Lu Tingchuan was not satisfied with this at all. He used so much force with his fingertips that he rubbed the burn until it bled.
Lu Tingchuan leaned over to her ear and said, "Like I told you, there will be punishment for playing poorly. If you move again, it won't just be a simple burn."
Shen Qing shrank back and dared not move.
